On The Come Up
Theres never been a shortage of people who think I'm weak
I can say they taught me how to believe in myself see
When yo self is all you got only one man back me up
So why not take the shot
You were never enough in their eyes anyway
So prove it to yourself
The wise man competes with none
Therefore no one can compete with him
Set ya' own standard we all die anyway
Aint talkin' bout the music I'm talking 'bout improvement
Personal development is all I'm ever doing
Shook when I'm tellin' it
Caught up in my relevance
Working for the words and I know that I'm selling it
Fool-hearted attempt expressed with elegance
Take the ride everyday
Love the lie anyway
All I really have is today
Put on my mask
Its time to play
Im On the come up
On my way up I know
It gotta go somewhere
It gotta go somewhere
Im On the come up
On my way up I know
Is anyone out there?
Is anyone out there?
On the stage of existence
Will I really get this?
Project my image to the finish I'm in it
Infinite potential this vessel is mental
Mind body spirit trinity is essential
Living this life sharpen my knife
Mental warfare my state of mind
One of a kind
I don't know whatever though
Nothing to show
Just the contents of my soul
In my heart of hearts where this notion starts
A curious cause for all who embark
Experience loss and all that we got
Talking prayer on the wind
That's the spot
Just let me write it
This wave I been riding for decades of my life
Let me put it in print may it be here when I die
A testament to the human condition
May we be humbled by this diction
Im On the come up
On my way up I know
It gotta go somewhere
It gotta go somewhere
Im On the come up
On my way up I know
Is anyone out there?
Is anyone out there?
In the winter snow found my touchstone
Memory froze
visit from time to time
Just to feel that old familiar sorrow
Cold continuum hollow
Pulling at the very being I call my own
Warrior talk on the sleeve of imagined glory
Fork in the road time to choose my journey
Write my story filled with yearning, meaning
I'm burning,
unlearning things I used to survive those troubled times
I was raised in hatred
Looking back at the violence
Take a moment of silence.
On my knees begging lord please'
May I never pass it on to my seeds
Make a man question if its worth it indeed
On the surface it seem my record clean
We all got secrets beneath
I'm an imperfect being like you cant you see?
Not a violent person.
But it's in me
Im On the come up
On my way up I know
It gotta go somewhere
It gotta go somewhere
Im On the come up
On my way up I know
Is anyone out there?
Is anyone out there?
I can say they taught me how to believe in myself see
When yo self is all you got only one man back me up
So why not take the shot
You were never enough in their eyes anyway
So prove it to yourself
The wise man competes with none
